Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to metallized capacitors, and more specifically to a metallized capacitor having a roll of laminated dielectric films each being formed with a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart conductive segments.
  • metallized capacitors are broadly classified into roll and stack types.
  • a dielectric film is vacuum evaporated with a continuous length of conductive layer and laminated with a similarly vacuum-evaporated dielectric film and the lamination is convolutely wound into a roll.
  • Each dielectric film is provided with a marginal non-metallized area extending along one edge thereof which is opposite to the marginal area of the other film.
  • a conductive material On each end face of the roll is welded a conductive material so that it establishes an electrical connection with an assoiciated one of the rolled conductive layers.
  • a plurality of metallized films having non-metallized marginal area is stacked one on each other so that each dielectric layer is sandwiched between conductive layers and marginal areas occur alternately on opposite edges of the stacked construction.
  • a conductive material is welded to the opposite edges of the stacked construction to establish electrical connection to alternate conductive layers.
  • the roll type has an advantage in that it permits ease with which capacitors are manufactured and a disadvantage in that a small damage in a local area will spread to all parts of the capacitor and eventually lead to the damage of whole capacitor due to the physically integral construction of conductive layers.
  • the roll type additionally requires a safety assurance device such as current fuse or temperature fuse to prevent total failure of the capacitor.
  • a damage in the stack type can be confined to a local area.
  • the disadvantage of the latter resides in the manufacture which compares unfavorably with the roll type.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a metallized capacitor of rolled construction which combines the safety assurance feature of the stack type while retaining the manufacturing advantage of the rolled construction.
  • the metallized capacitor of the invention comprises a pair of laminated dielectric films convolutely wound into a roll, each of the dielectric films being formed on one surface thereof with a plurality of metallized areas longitudinally spaced apart by separations of 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm,.the interval between successive ones of the separations being 10 mm to 500 mm.
  • Each of the dielectric films is formed with a non-metallized marginal area longitudinally extending along one edge thereof which is opposite to the non-metallized marginal area of the other dielectric film, the roll being provided on each end thereof with means for electrically connecting the metallized areas of each of the dielectric films to respective electrodes.
  • a metallized capacitor of the present invention is shown as comprising a pair of pliable elongate films 1 and 11 of a dielectric material such as propylene, polyesther or polycarbonate which are laminated and convolutely wound into a roll 2.
  • a dielectric material such as propylene, polyesther or polycarbonate
  • On the inner surface of film 1 is deposited a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart segmented conductive films 3 which are typically shown in the form of rectangles separated by transversely extending non-metallized areas 4.
  • the conductive films are deposited by vacuum evaporation or sputtering technique so that they are offset from the right edge of the nonconductive film 1 to leave a non-metallized marginal area 5.
  • the nonconductive film 11 is provided on its inner surface with longitudinally spaced apart segmented metallized films 13 which are separated by transversely extending non-metallized areas 14 and offset from the left edge of the nonconductive film 11 to leave a marginal area 15.
  • the nonconductive films 1 and 11 are laminated so that the conductive segments on each surface of the film 11 correspond to the conductive segments on the other surface.
  • the preferred width value of each marginal area is 0.5 mm to 5 mm.
  • the marginal areas 5 and 15 thus occur in alternate fashion when the laminated films are wound into a roll.
  • the opposite sides 6, 16 of the roll 2 are welded with layers 6, 16 of conductive material such as Zn, Sn, Cu or Pb to which- conductors 7 and 17 are connected. Due to the alternately arranged non-metallized marginal areas, the conductor 7 is connected to all the metallized segments 3, while the conductor 17 is connected to all the metallized segments 13.
  • the metallized capacitor of the invention thus combines the manufacturing benefit of rolled construction with the safety feature of stacked construction, whereby a breakdown in any of the conductive segments and a resultant self-healing process can be localized and its spreading to adjacent segments is effectively prevented.
  • Fig. 2 is a graphic illustration of the results of safety proof tests in which high voltages of 1.5 to 3.0 times the working voltage were applied to 10-microfarad, 150-volt rated metallized capacitors heated to a temperature ranging from room temperature to 120 degrees centigrade.
  • the conductive segments were formed on a 5-micrometer thick polyesther film with a given constant value of separation interval W2. The percentage value of the capacitors which passed the tests is plotted against separation widths Wl.
  • Fig. 3 voltages of up to 1200 volts are plotted as a function of separation Wl.
  • the high voltage tests excluded the application of higher voltages than 1200 volts since this voltage is the current highest working voltage and the needs for capacitors having higher working voltages are usually met with a parallel connection of two or more 1200 - volt.rated capacitors.
  • the plotted curve indicates minimum values of separation W1 for given values of applied voltage. In other words, the hatched area indicates that 100% capacitors withstand the voltages that intersect the curve. It.is.seen that failures occur at an increasing rate as an inverse function of the width of separation W1.
  • the separation width Wl should be in a range from 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm.
  • Second safety proof tests similar to the previous safety proof tests were applied to capacitors of the identical construction to those used in the previous tests with the exception that the capacitors have a given constant value of separation Wl but different values of separation interval W2.
  • Fig. 4 shows the results of the second tests. safety proof It is seen that capacitors having separation interval of more than 500 mm have a poor reliability.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates-the results of the durability tests in which the rate of variation of the capacitance with respect to the initial value is plotted as a function of separation interval W2. It is seen from Fig. 5 that capacitors having a separation interval W2 smaller than 10 mm are found to be not suitable. From Figs. 4 and 5, it follows that the separation interval W2 must be in a range between 10 mm and 500 mm.
  • a comparison test was conducted between a prior art rolled metallized capacitor with a capacity of 15 microfarads and a rated voltage of 120 volts and a capacitor of the same operating parameters which was constructed according to the invention such that the width Wl of separation was 0.5 mm with the separation interval W2 being 15 mm.
  • the comparison tests involved continued application of 300 volts AC to the capacitors heated to a temperature of 120 degrees centigrade and measurement of current which was plotted as a function of time as shown in Fig. 6. It is seen from Fig. 6 that with the prior art capacitor the current rapidly increased a few minutes after the application of the high voltage that burned the capacitor.
  • the capacitor current value of the invention gradually decreased for an initial 15-minute period which is followed by a higher rate of current decrease until the capacitor became completely open-circuited although a slight swelling was noticed.
  • FIG. 8 is an illustration of a method of forming the non-metallized areas.
  • A.metallized film 20 is supported between rollers 21 and 22 and pulled by a suitable means, not shown, in a direction as indicated by an arrow 23.
  • the upstream side roller 21 has a conductive cylindrical surface which is coupled to a terminal of a DC voltage source 24, while the downstream side roller 22 has an insulative cylindrical surface in which a transversely extending metal strip 25 is embedded.
  • the metal strip 25 is coupled to another terminal of the voltage source 24 so that arc discharge occurs along the strip 25 when the latter comes into contact with the metallized area 26 at each revolution of the roller 22 to create a non-metallized area 27.
  • the metallized areas are formed by vacuum evaporation.of a conductive material through a mask.
  • the non-metallized areas that separate the metallized areas are vacuum evaporated with a resistive material forming a resistive strip 30 as shown in Fig. 9.
  • Safety proof tests indicate that the current capacity of the resistive strip -30 needs to be lower than 1/10 of the current capacity of the conductive segments 3, 13 as indicated in Fig. 10.
  • Fig. 11 shows an alternative form of the capacitor of the invention in which the resistive area is formed by a narrow conductive region 40 having a width "d" smaller than 1/10 of the width "D" of the conductive segments 3, 13.
  • Figs. 12 to 15 are illustrations of encased metallized capacitors as typical examples.
  • the metallized capacitor 50 of the invention is placed in a plastic casing 52 into which thermo-setting epoxy resin 51 is poured and allowed to cure so that the capacitor 50 is completely sealed.
  • the metallized capacitor 50 is placed into a cylindrical metal casing 60 lined with an insulating sheet 63 with the electrodes 7, 17 extending to terminals 61 attached to a plastic cover member 62.
  • - Resin 64 is poured into the casing 60 and the cover 62 placed on top of the casing. As illustrated in Figs.
  • an axial type capacitor is provided by wrapping the capacitor 50 with two to five turns of a polyesther adhesive sheet 70 having a greater width than the length of capacitor 50 by 5 mm to 10 mm.
  • the oversized portions of the sheet 70 at opposite ends of the capacitor are filled with resin to form end sealings 71.
  • the metallized capacitor 50 may be dipped into liquid resin which is subsequently allowed to cure to form an outer coating 80 as shown in Figs. 15a, 15b.
